Description
1901 A promising start - On a good October Sunday in 1901, Jean-Baptiste Jodoin bought and orchard with it’s somewhat hundred apple trees.

1937 His son, Ernest Jodoin, inherited the family orchard in 1937 and during his lifetime acquired more land, which he later sold to his sons. Apples will be the providing income for the family for at least four generations!

1988 The cider house opens! - After a rough start (about 150 bottles in the first 6 months), the tenacity and drive of Mr Jodoin pays off: 5000 bottles in 1990 going onto 100 000 in 2004!

After a rough start, the cider house takes flight!
Striving to offer quality and original products, the cider house is proud to become the leader in traditional method ciders, the first microdistellery in Canada (1999) and the biggest producer in North America of the famous red fleshed apple, the Geneva.
Many times decorated, never equaled, Michel Jodoin cider house is a must stop of the Québec Cidrer circuit, not to mention a flagship of the Canadian food supply industry.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear colour with no head. Aroma brings out lightly sweet apples. Flavour is light to medium sweet, with weak apple notes. Really weak and thin, with no life. Pretty terrible.

Very pale color. The aroma is lightly acidic, maybe some apples. Very dry, a bit sour, with almost no flavor of apples.
Poor.

375mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a tiny white head. Aroma is quite sugary and somewhat tart with apples. Flavour brings out sugary sweet apples, caramelized sugar, and a very slight tartness. Very sugary sweet, not as refine as, say, the La Face de la Cachee ice ciders. Great stuff.

It pours a golden color, thick. It’s expectedly sweet, fruity, with a good degree of acidity.
Pleasant as all Ice Ciders, balanced, but not too deep, and with a relatively short final.
Uncomplicated.

Sampled from the bottle. Poured a nice clear ruby red with no head whatsoever. Aroma was full of tart apples with a bit of a crab apple note and enough sweetness to balance. Flavor began with tart apples that was balanced by a slight sweetness. Finish was more tart, reminded me a bit of crab apples. Really worked for me.
